Catechumen - is this one of the top worst game of all time?

  Catechumen is a pc video game from early 2000 which wasn't very succesfull at all .Catechumen's first-person shooter gameplay is very comparable in many respects to Quake game.Only difference is gameplay and characters.

(gameplay has nice old-school graphic,source bing)

 Gameplay even though is very old fashion but graphic of this game is ''TOP NOTCH'' for the year it's been made(2000).

The participant travels via 18 special ranges that gradually get darker and extra demonic. The first stages take region in Rome and round the Roman Colosseum. 

As the participant ventures deeper and deeper into the Roman catacombs, he sooner or later reaches Hell itself. As the participant progresses, he receives weapons given to him by means of a variety of angels.

Catechumen is set in the 12 months A.D. 171 for the duration of the reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, a persecutor of Christians. During this period, new Christian converts have been guided by way of a mentor for at least a 12 months in which the new converts have been referred to as Catechumen. 

The game's opening cutscene exhibits that the player's mentor and fellow brethren have been captured with the aid of demon-possessed Roman troopers and locked in the deepest Roman catacombs. 

(sword is used to shot beam stuff at enemy)

Being a Catechumen, it is the player's job to delve into the Roman catacombs to free them. With the assist of a variety of angels, the participant subsequently frees his brethren at the cease of the recreation by way of banishing the chief of the demons, Satan, lower back into the underworld.

Game it self feels very monotone and unrelated with any movie or other games which makes it hard to like and enjoy playing for longer time.

Battlefield 2142 is this game a 2006 best first-person shooter?...

Battlefield 2142 is a one of the first modern version of firstperson-shooter games.Game it self was developed by DICE company and published by EA.

(a classic game with futuristic gameplay,source bing)

 Battlefield consists of two gameplay modes, Conquest and Titan, the latter of which can solely be performed on-line in multiplayer maps (without the use of adjustments ("mods")).

(adding vehicles to online first-person shooter makes this game so much better when it was released in 2006)

 Both modes assist varying numbers of players, up to 64, relying upon the server a participant chooses to be part of online.

 The single participant mode consists of a most of sixteen players, which consists of 15 AI bots. Commander Mode from Battlefield two returns, as one participant from every group can observe and both take delivery of or flip down the position of turning into commander. 

(game has some interesting design ,source -=-)

The participant in the commander function has integral roles in the game, such as deploying UAV's, artillery strikes, airdropping elements or motors for their team.

(game still has some retro fans for a reason,source -=-)

As game it self is old and online multiplayer stopped in 2014 ,so there's not much to this game other then reminder of how great good-old fashion games used to be.

Road Rash - one of the first racing game implemented into other games by EA...

 Road Rash was once one of the first video games conceived with the amazing EA following the company's choice to commence growing video games internally. 

(graphic can always tell the game is old but still it's a nice RETRO classic ,source bing)

The game's programmers Dan Geisler and Carl Mey had been employed by means of EA to create a banked street impact for Mario Andretti Racing, then being developed as an NES title. 

(something this game has a lot is crashes,specially playing it for first time,-=- )

When the NES hardware proved incapable of rendering the favored effect, center of attention shifted to a bike racing recreation for the extra effective Sega Genesis.

(this is the cover,source-=-)

Road Rash is a 1991 racing and vehicular fight video sport in the beginning developed and posted by way of Electronic Arts (EA) for the Sega Genesis. It used to be in consequence ported to a range of modern structures by using differing companies. 

(if this game was made into modern version,this is how it would look in real life or very high graphic,source bing)

The recreation is situated round a sequence of bike races at some point of California that the participant need to win to enhance to higher-difficulty races, whilst attractive in unarmed and armed fight to restrict the different racers.

 (gameplay can be fun ,-=-)

The game is old and apart from obvious racing (which many games offer too) and crashes (which even a gta offer higher graphic) this game doesn't give anything else also it's quite old so it make sense that there wasn't many people wanting to play this game anymore.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory a Cult classic of it's era

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a one of the best online multiplayer game of it's time (not as much these days), where in the game itself players interact with each other over a network, in two teams( Allies and bad guys ) to defend or destroy mission objectives. 

(game had decent graphic in 2003,source bing)

The game can be played on a local area network or the Internet. In public activities, PunkBuster used to guard the game, yet its creator, EvenBalance, discontinued assistance for the sport in October 2011.

There are six officially released maps that are partially based on real locations or events( North African Campaign: Gold Rush, Siwa Oasis, and Atlantic Seawall Battery, Europe Campaign: Rail Gun, Würzburg Radar, and Fuel Dump ), as well as hundreds of custom maps made by the gaming community.

(in game characters feels quite picture painted,source bing)

 On most charts, the offence needs to complete a certain set of objectives within a limited amount of time. The security needs to keep the offence from completing objectives until period runs out. Some goals might be optional, and either group may carry out some goals. These slight objectives assist the group completing them. 

Depending on the game mode, the action will take place on a different map( Campaign Mode ) or the same map as last man standing, stopwatch, and objective modes.
In all but the Last Man Standing Mode, dying participants respawn all at the same time, every By moments. 

(wolfenstein certainly improved over the years a lot,source -=-)

In the default maps— assuming that the server settings are not changing it— Allies spawn every 20 seconds and the Axis every 30 seconds, the only exception being Rail Gun where both have a 20 - second spawn. The spawn clock is visible in the right side of the screen with default options. 

Experienced players should constantly keep an eye on the clock because dying to a 1-second spawn essentially means losing your position( and life, if the server has the infrequently used Limited Lives feature enabled) and resetting your health and ammo, in contrast to the 30-second kill, which can be fatal in the presence of several players. 

A good strategy is to find out the brood time of your opponent, for instance looking at the mission timer, and time your attacks so that every dying challenger will have to wait a full - time spawn.

Game it self is very much like many other shooter games but the scenes and authentic and unique background frame make this game one of the top games of it's time.

This game was released in 2003 as a standalone game which makes this game almost 20 years old(how time fly's) and this game is certainly not new which makes this game almost retro game.

Manic miner - a forgoten classic...

 Manic Miner is a platform video game written for the ZX Spectrum by creator Matthew Smith. It used to be posted and sold by company named Bug-Byte in 1983, then later the equal 12 months by way of Software Projects. The first game in the Miner Willy series, the graph was stimulated by means of Miner 2049er (1982) for the Atari 8-bit family. Retro Gamer referred to as Manic Miner one of the most influential platform games of all time, and it has been ported to numerous domestic computers, video sport consoles, and cellular phones.Let's discuss bit more about gameplay .

(even a newer version for windows look so retro,source bing)

You have each of the twenty caverns, every one display screen in size, are numerous flashing objects, which the player ought to accumulate earlier than Willy's oxygen furnish runs out. Once the player has amassed the objects in one cavern, they ought to then go to the now-flashing portal, which will take them to the subsequent cavern. 

( Manic miner game start up screen,source bing)

The participant have to avoid enemies, listed in the cassette inlay as "...Poisonous Pansies, Spiders, Slime, and worst of all, Manic Mining Robots..." which cross along predefined paths at regular speeds.

 

                                                 (zoom in version look something like this,source -=-)

Willy can also be killed through falling too far, so players need to time the precision of jumps and other actions to stop such falls or collisions with the enemies. 

(This is how manic miner would look in real life ,probably :D)

All in all we can say that manic miner was game of it's time but certainly lost lot of it's charm through out the years.

+ positives :

- never ageing retro look

- gameplay is quite fun (for short time)

_ negatives :

- game has no long history 

- not many retro people want to play this game again 

- has no never ageing style like (example ...Sonic )
